THE DRESSY AMERICAN.
APPEARANCE BEFORE QUALITY
EFFECT ON WOOL TRADE. By Telegraph.— Association.—
(Received August 7, 12.20 a.m.)
_ London,; August 6. Mr. Denby, of the New York Wool Exchange, a Bradford man, with 30 years' ; experience as 'an importer, says Americans, even those of small means, care more for appearance than quality, and love frequent changes of clothing. Hence the demand for ' worsteds is v growing rapidly all over the United States, and the demand for heavy woollen wear is diminishing.
" I do not expect," said Mr. t)enby, " that any more English -factories will be established in America, as those started after the Dingley tariff became law fully "meet the requirements of the situation."
